Lift question

Hello! I really need som help here. _I have a 460 300GD SWB non turbo with 32"X11,5"R15 tires. And i'm thinking of 40mm lift. Dosn't really need it but would like to know how i looks like.

I'm hope the 32" tires dosn't look to small with 40mm lift because i think 33"12,5"R15 tires would make the car to slow.

Any one have pictures of a 460 SWB with 32" and 40mm spring lift?

this is how it looks on standard springs with 32"

The car was prepared for 35' tires: 50mm body lift and bent/cut frame pipes in front fenderwells. It also has 30mm spacers.
No rubbing with the 33' tires, but it looks like there would be no rubbing without the pipes mods.

RE: Lift question

Hey Kerr,

Do you get any driveline angle issues with those lift springs? I'm debating whether to order the 40+mm springs from ORC or the 3" springs from Extreme. Extreme mentions lengthening driveshafts and other things that require welding and I'm not sure I want to get into all that. If the ORC springs are a simple swap out, that would be better. How many miles have you put on your G since the install?
